I'm goin Pro 5.0!!!!
 
Well after alot of thinking, I'm gonna race some Pro 5.0 races this year!! I think my car has got what it takes to run with Pro 5.0 boys. I've got pretty much the same setup as Billy Glidden (he built the motor anyways) and after talking to him on the phone the other day, he feels like my car should run with them. I gotta get it a little bit lighter though, but my first race will be at Maple Grove. So if anyones near that track come on out and wish me luck!!!

Thanks Brad, yeah I'm gonna TRY to run with the big dogs. I think it will do ok though, I've got the hp that's for sure!! I had it dyno'd a while back...at the rear wheels on motor it's putting out 982hp...on both stages it's pushing 1784 hp!!! I got it on video, i'll post it soon!!! Crank the VOLUME UP. hehe

I can't fathom what a 400-500rwhp car would feel like to launch down the track, let alone something with more than 3 times that power!

good luck with it, and if you get scared and need a driver then shoot me an email :D

Wow! That's going to be a hoot and a half for ya!

Remember, it's not always the fastest car that wins, it's the most consistent. If you can go rounds without breaking,etc. then you actually stand a decent chance.

You can't make it to the race in Reynolds this weekend? Be awesome if you could. I'd like to see it. Congrats on everything!

Good Luck, James

I'm just drooling thinking of all that power. That is very awsome ! Good Luck! We're all chearing you on!

Mustangbelle306 04-02-2002 07:29 PM

I don't really keep up with Pro 5.0, always was interested in the guy-next-door type cars, but congrats!:) :D

Last time I even paid attention to that class, weren't they running basically tube chassis cars with lexan windows and fiberglass shells and stuff? You need to get you one of 'em and run against the pros with that! ;)

Good Choice ERIC!!!!! Thats Too Cool!!!! :cool: You still gonna take me for a spin at Cecil????? Think we could figure out a way? Theres gotta be a nice straight away road off somewhere!!!! (w/ no cops???!!??) :)

Eric4Nitrous 04-03-2002 12:14 AM

thanks guys for all the encouragement!! Mustangbelle, my car will be light enough to where I want need fiberglass bodies and such, it's set up like a Pro Stock car now. I think it will be very competitive. I know that it's very consistent..I go rounds almost everytime at the track. So I'm very excited about this year!!! Christine, I'll take you for a ride down the road if we don't get caught!! hehe Thing gets kinda noisy, hope we don't atract too much attention.lol

So what are your times going to be in the 1/4? I saw your 4.69 1/8th time....what's that in 1320' terms? 7s?

Eric4Nitrous 04-03-2002 12:40 AM

6T9 Pony, it equals out to around low, low 7's -high 6's in the quarter.

6T9PONY 04-03-2002 12:45 AM

Hmmm....You'd be finished with a 1/4 quite a while before I'd get done with an 1/8th.....man...I need some more mods.....:(
